As a rule, codes change, and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Granada Hills quote should state the assembly being laid.
A Granada Hills adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. In practice, code upgrade cover decides whether a Granada Hills claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. Put simply, photographs taken before any tarping on a Granada Hills property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
